Daniel McDonald Obituary

Daniel C.
McDonald, II, 78
NAPLES, Fla. - Daniel C. McDonald, II, of Naples, Fla. died on May 30, 2016, after a long illness. He was born in Portland on Nov. 28, 1937 to the late Attorney Daniel C. McDonald, Sr. and his wife Mary Louise McDonald.
Dan attended Portland schools and was a graduate of Proctor Academy in Andover, N.H. and the University of Maine at Orono. His professional career commenced in 1962 as Rumford branch manager of Casco Bank Trust Company. In 1971, Dan was appointed Rumford Town Manager, and in 1978 he became Kennebunkport Town Manager.
He was a member of many civic and fraternal organizations including Ancient Landmark Masonic Lodge in Portland; and Kora Shrine Temple in Lewiston where he took part in the Renegade Cart Unit. Dan was Past President of Oxford County Shrine Club; Life Member and Past Exalted Ruler of the Rumford Lodge of Elks; Past President of Rumford Rotary Club; director and treasurer of Rumford Hospital; and Life Member and Senior Deacon at Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland.
Dan moved to Naples, Fla. in 1985 where he worked with Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, the State of Florida Department of Children and Families as food stamp issuance supervisor, and Lowe's Home Improvement store as credit co-ordinator.
Dan is survived by his sister, Sara Jane Elliot, of South Portland; three nieces and a nephew and their children.
A graveside service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, where he will be interred with his dog Duchess. It was Dan's hope that at this time his friends would pause and remember good times shared.

Sara Jane, I was sad to see that you lost your brother. I can remember him from Ocean Avenue. It sounds as if he was quite successful. I don't know what I would do if I lost my brother. My condolences to you.

Del was a lifelong friend. We lived across the street from each other and started school together. This was a friendship that lasted for years and the last time we were together was at our 50th high school reunion where we were able to catch up with what has happened to our individual lives. I send my wishes that Sara Jane will be comforted with the memories that we all shared.
